Hi,

The use of dBase as a file format in OpenOffice.org is excellent.

However the current driver's ability to handle multiple users is limited.

I would suggest extending the driver to allow record level locking and thus 
multiple users having simultaneous read/write access.

This would enhance the functionality of database features an order of 
magnitude in my opinion.

With the coming release of 2.0 and not having a built in basic multiuser 
database IMHO is going to lead to user disatisfaction and will do the project 
more harm than good. This concerns me.

Thanks

Kelvin

To grep the issues easier via "requirements" I put the issues currently lying on
my owner to the owner "requirements".
